England secure an impressive win against Australia in Match No. 9 of 2016 Kabaddi World Cup.

England outclassed Australia with a score of 69-25 in the Group A match tonight at Ahmedabad in the 2016 World Cup tournament tonight. The main architect of England's win was raider Tope who alone scored 20 points for his team.

He was followed by another raider, Keshav Gupta who bagged eight points and captain Someshwar Kalia got his team eight points. With this win, England has reached the fourth place in the points table for Group A.

This group is led by Korea followed by India and Bangladesh. One reason for Australia's defeat was its poor defence, which was unable to tackle raiders from England. Kalia was also successful in making four pursuits which fetched his team important points.

The pursuits showed that he was alert on the field and looking for all opportunities to score. A important aspect of the match was that England scored an all-out over Australia on five occasions. Of these, three were in the first half and the remaining two in the second.
